Hi 7Sage community!

I'm reaching out to you guys to see if I can get some advice on how to tackle RRE questions. I've been going through the pre-sets and I've been finding that I've been really struggling with them. So can anyone give some tips on how to handle RREs?

I don't understand how ac A strengthens the argument. Can someone please explain?

Hi,

I don't understand why B isn't the correct answer choice for this question. The passage says S and O "make a distinction between this type of uncertainty and that known as "chaos". To me this is pretty clear the mentioning of "chaos" is in order to show that the physical irregularities in S and O's model are not the same type with the ones in "chaos", thus I chose B. I just don't think D is very convincing bc it's not just a matter of degree of unpredictability— this unpredictability is totally a different type.

For this question, I conceived the flaw to be"from correlation to causation, and thus to prescriptive assertion". I was threw off by E at my first sight for its first premise "most people who exercise regularly are able to handle stress."

I guess I wouldn't often read a sentence with "most subjects + predicate" as a correlation. But at hindsight, if I translate the sentence into "over 50% of people who exercise regularly can handle stress.", then the statistics can be a strong indicator for showing a correlation.

So does anyone have a suggestion on how do you usually spot a correlation?

Thank you very much for your help.

Since I don't have an paid account, please pardon me to ask a PT-related question in this manner.

Here is a part of the second paragraph:

"Ellison found these criticisms to voice a common demand, namely that writers should censor themselves and sacrifice their individuality for supposedly more important political and cultural purposes. He replied that it demeans a people and its artist to suggest that a particular historical situation requires cultural segregation in the arts. Such a view characterizes all artists as incapable of seeing the world--with all its subtleties and complications--in unique yet expressive ways, [...]"

I don't understand how could Ellison inferred that the criticism made such a characterization "all artists as incapable of seeing the world_--with all its subtleties and complications--in unique yet expressive ways,".

Those critics attack Ellison by saying Ellison should devote more to a political change and to a distinct African American style. Where is the characterization about all artists' incapableness of see the world?

Thank you for the help.

How do you print out logic games to review as JY suggests? Through here? On LSAT Prep Plus?

Nevermind! I learned figured out how to use the problem set generator and make PDFs from that

Do we know the order of the sections we'll see on the test? In the practice tests it seems to be random. Also, is the writing sample last and is there any break in between?

Friends,

In order to practice conditional logic diagrams, does anyone know if there exists a list of LR questions that include conditional logic?

For instance, on PT59 / Section 1 / Game 3 there is an addendum with a list of similar LG questions: (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-59-section-1-game-3/)

Thanks in advance!

I have been scoring -3 to -7 in LR disregard all the efforts I made just to improve my LR. I have read the manhattan prep LR, the trainer, the loophole and finish about 30-40% in 7-sage.... Any suggestions in how to improve LR?

For anyone who has taken a previous LSAT Flex, is it the same setup as the 7Sage practice tests where you can "X" out answer choices to make them muted or is there no option on the test?

Hi all,

Is there a GroupMe to join for the April 2021 LSAT takers?

I'm switching from working on individual timed games from the problem sets and lessons presented in the Core Curriculum to doing full LG sections from tests 1-35 and wondering if people have some rough timing benchmarks based on game type, number of questions, question types (new premise/suppose + new condition), etc. they use to manage their time across a whole section, to generally know what pacing to keep and when they're probably ahead or behind.

For individual games, I've been using the time stamp provided in the explanation videos for each game, which we obviously won't have on the real test.

It would make sense for this to be in a final wrap-up comprehensive lesson like the wrap-up lesson on board types, but I didn't see anything along these lines in the curriculum. #Help

I'm taking LSAT for the first time in April, and how does the signup process works for time slots? Do you have to create a ProctorU account? How difficult is it to get the time slot that you want? Thanks!

Hi so I’ve been practicing for the LSAT going on my third serious try and unfortunately the previous takes were both sat for during the pandemic which in turn is the LSAT-Flex exam. After several Prep-Tests in simulated Flex mode I’ve come to notice a recurring pattern of scoring 144-146 average- despite my better 151 performance on the full length exam. My theory at least to my premonition at best is that with the removed additional Logical Reasoning Section (the section I perform best on), could it be the case that the points accumulated are not being attributed to my overall Flex score? In other words how well of a theory is it that the curved score I am receiving is reflective of my “actual LSAT performance” granted I don’t under perform. Just a question I’d like to discuss because it is really been deteriorating my confidence walking into what will be my FOURTH LSAT take. My first score being in the low 131s (full LSAT without adequate prep), then 139 then 141 (both flexs) , when as described previously my practice score on the full length exam is 151-154 average. Please help-as I’m reaching the end of my rope.

Can someone please explain to me how I should map out the substitution for rules questions in LG? The questions where it asks you how would substituting this rule for another rule have the same effect on the board is something that isn't clicking with me.

Hello everyone! I am in need of some insight into how to do better on the LR section of the exam. It seems to not yet be "clicking" for me on LR, but I have seen some improvement. It's the harder question types that confuse me. I usually choose the trap answers for the harder questions. Does anyone have any advice/tips/resources or a general approach for the LR section. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all!

Typically, we fool proof for logic games, but is there any way we can methodically be successful at LR?

Can someone clarify what the hell "S" is saying in the first sentence of the stimulus? I understand the rest of the reasoning, but I can't break this sentence down in a way that is meaningful. What is meant by "threatened?" If the trend may not be real, why would it be premature to halt it? I'm trying to understand the perspective from which "S" begins the argument.

Thanks in advance!

So two of my best LR question types are MSS/MBT and I'm pretty sound with the other RC inference questions but I am getting absolutely demolished by these (29% accuracy, by far my worst RC q-type). Anyone else have this problem and/or any tips?

Hi,

Regarding PT28-S3-Q26:

The conclusion in the stimulus is drawing attention to the arguer's behavior is irrational.

The conclusion in the answer (D) is one should not dismiss the argument by pointing out the arguer's behavior.

There seems to be a mismatch between descriptive and prescriptive; how come these two argument patterns can be seen as similar to each other?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I do so awesome when I take the paper tests. I finish in time with 24/25 right. Enter the LawHub virtual tests and cue the 16/18 outta 27!!! Ugh !! My score overall is still decent because I’ve improved on the LG from fool proofing but good grief, I could have a 163-165 if my lame RC could transfer from paper to virtual. Thanks for listening to me rant... any tips to close this gap by April 10th?!?

Really struggling with those curve breaker LR questions. My score ranges from a -8 to a -6. Would ideally be fine with a -3 or 4 on the test, but really hoping to get some help. Happy to talk about tutoring options.

Hi!

I am looking for a RC tutor to work with.

For context, my average score under time is at -5 to -7 RC (I'm at -1 LR and -1 LG). The frustrating part is that my BR score for RC isn't that much different: it's around -3 to -6.

My guess is that either I'm not reading right, or I'm not approaching the questions right, or some of both. I was wondering if we could work on improving accuracy on RC BR first.

If you know of anyone, please let me know! Thanks!

P.S. I'm aware of the 7Sage's Approved Tutors. I have reached out to some that I thought would be a good match for me, but they are all either full or have not messaged back.

Can someone explain how you know ABCDE are the bottom of the game board? I used the other game pieces and missed nearly all of them
